And she told how she’s proof that creating a harmonious and balanced home space can have positive repercussions in other areas of your life.

She believes the Chinese practice helped her meet her husband Ken Mahon, with the happily married duo now running their online business from beautiful Bali.

She said: “After I moved into an apartment in Dublin I decided I wasn’t moving out until I met someone.

“So I set up my bedroom for love and made sure that it was always a calm and beautiful space, even though I wouldn’t naturally be very tidy.

TIDY LITTLE LOVE TRICK

“I made sure I had a double bed, which I pulled out from the wall so that it was suitable for two people. I got two bedside tables, two bedside lamps, I had a shelf up high that I left clear for the man I would meet.

“I upgraded my linen and I even bought spare hangers for the wardrobe so that there would be space there for his clothes.

“It was about making space in my bedroom, in my wardrobe and in my life. It turned out my husband also used feng shui and had set up a low shelf in his bedroom.”

The couple first met briefly at a shamanic fire walk in Dunderry Park in Navan, Co Meath. Although they didn’t exchange numbers, they each sought the other out and crossed paths again three months later. They married in August 2015 and went travelling to India, before settling in Bali.

The pair now run a busy feng shui programme that’s been taken by people all over the world, with four couples married and three engaged as a result.

'BLOWN MY MIND'

Patricia said: “We can work anywhere so the plan is to work between Bali, New York and Europe.

“I really wanted to have an online business so that we could do this. We are working with people all over the world and have so many clients who have met their soulmate. It’s blown my mind how powerful it can be.”

Patricia has written a book called The Happy Home, which explains how a home’s energy can affect areas of your life, from wealth and happiness to relationships and love. In it, she explains how to ensure your home isn’t creating bad energy.

She said: “Each home is unique. Some homes are bad for money, that’s just how it is, but the best thing about feng shui is that everything is fixable.

“There’s usually a specific remedy for each home. If you have money problems, it could be about finding the prosperity area of your home and making sure it’s clear of clutter and adding some positive affirmations there.

“Some people are dubious of feng shui but it’s used by huge corporations all over the world — like Disney and Coca-Cola — they’re not doing it for the fun of it.”
